Suffers Burns Extinguishing Fire

While helping extinguish the fire last Sunday at the Ell wood George cottage on the south side of Lake Wawasee, George McDermott, nephew of Ross Franklin, and an employee at Waco, suffered painful burhs. The ladder upon which he was standing while using a fire extinguisher, slipped from beneath him and to avoid falling he grasped and held to the edge of the roof. While suspended there the flames lapped around him and burned his limbs before assistance could reach him. Ihe burns, while not being serious, are very painful and will keep him confined and under the doctor’s care for about ten days. The cause of the fire is unknown, but is believed to have been caused by burning some paper or either from defective wiring. The entire roof of the cottage was destroyed and the interior damaged to the extent that the cottage was vacated by the occupants. Had it not been for the quick work done by Ross Franklin with his boys from Waco and the assistance of neighbors, the cottage and perhaps several others would have been p loss. Mr. Franklin stated that they used up all the fire extinguishers they had at Waco and through th\ use of them, assisted by a bucket brigade, were able to control the fire, . h- — GOLFER SUUUUMRS TO HEART ATTAUK Robert E. pietz, qf JndianapO’ lis, dropped dead on the Lake Wawasee hotel and country club golf course about 11 o’clock Sunday morning from heart trouble.

It is probable that 10 farmers live on secondary or feeder roads to one farmer who lives on a main highway. This means that it is highly important to consider waterproofing and hard surfacing the secondary roads. Not only should this be done to accomodate the farmers and make new territory more accessible, but it should be done to relieve the main highways of traffic and thereby eliminate unnecessary congestion. The chap who would reform the comunity in which he lives, should draw a mental picture of what it would be like if body were just like him. Tn this era of conservation, ef-ficiency-engineers have overlooked the field cutting theflow of words in half.
